Man clear to take action against Tusla over Tuam mother and baby home records
Summary
In March 2017 the High Court granted Peter Mulryan leave to sue Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, to obtain information about his sister Marian Bridget Mulryan, who is believed to have died at the Tuam Mother and Baby Home. Mulryan, a retired ESB technician from Derrymullen, Ballinasloe, seeks a declaration that communications sent to his solicitor in 2016 created a legitimate expectation that Tusla would investigate all records concerning his sister. He also requests an order for Tusla to provide a printed booklet of all documentation it holds about St Mary's Home, including burial records, admission books, death certificates, adoption documents and correspondence. The court adjourned the matter for four weeks and confirmed that Tusla's offer to allow Mulryan to inspect scanned materials remains open. The case is still pending before the court.
